Zhang Lun's strategy is destined to have no results.

In many cases, the best strategy is not necessarily what the generals want, and those who can lead large troops to command the army will not only think about strategy and tactics.

They think of all sorts of things, but first and foremost, they are themselves.

This is not surprising, and it can also be put another way, selfless people will not have the opportunity to ascend to the position of the chief general of the first army, they have long been eliminated on the way to promotion.

In fact, the process of the birth of the emperor is similar, and those who seem to be selfless must have great selfishness in order to ascend to the throne.

Therefore, Li Zhongwen is destined not to listen to Zhang Lun's words, and abandon Jiexiu to guard the Bird Mouse Valley.

Zhang Lun actually expected it and was not depressed, but he turned his head slightly and sneered when he walked out of the lobby.

Everyone under the command of Tang Gong is nothing more than this, there is no difference, it doesn't matter if he treats Zhang Lun as nothing, he is timid one by one, and most of them are not heroes.

Tang Gong was nepotistic, and he Zhang Lun was confused by his virtuous name, and he ended up in the company of such a person, and he had to succumb to him, which is really annoying.

This time, this is the last bit of his heart, and what happens after that, let's see the war.

But there is a disadvantage, if these people are still crooked, don't blame him Zhang Lun for being ruthless.

………………………………

In fact, at this time, it was too late for the Tang Army to make arrangements.

Whether it is to go out of the city and set up a wall, or to retreat to the Bird Mouse Valley, it will not help the Tang army, and it may even cause a disaster.

The cavalry came too fast, and from the time the Tang army was alert to the reaction, it was just over a day before the scouts of Li Po's cavalry had already appeared around Jiexiu.

This time, they didn't try to hide their tracks again, but patrolled around Jiexiu City like wolves in twos and threes, and some went directly to the direction of the Bird Mouse Valley, and the tens of thousands of Tang troops in Jiexiu City seemed to them to be nothing.

The proud soldiers of Daizhou finally appeared in the land south of Jinyang.

The Tang army walked to the top of the city one after another, holding the swords, guns and shields, ready to fight with the enemy, fireworks rose in the city, and the sound was noisy, which was the Tang sergeant soldiers preparing the equipment to defend the city.

Seeing that the enemy was small and so arrogant, the generals of the Tang Army were furious and asked for orders to leave the city, wanting to cut off a few heads to frustrate the enemy's arrogance first.

But even Jiang Baoyi understands that this is just a prelude to the war, and it is useless to go out of the city at this time, and the big war is still to come.

Zhang Lun's subordinates were the most elite and had a small number of people, and they should have been used as the Chinese army, and they could help the defenders of the four cities to defend the city when it was critical.

But at this time, Li Zhongwen really couldn't believe him, and sent him to the south of the city to guard the southern city wall.

It was still early, the smoke and dust had risen to the north, and the enemy army had arrived.

With the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, four thousand cavalrymen of the same generation came on horseback, and the demonstration generally circled the city, and the people and horses were like dragons, stirring up dust under the city, and only then stopped outside the northern city.

Under the fluttering of the flag, the people and horses gathered and lined up in a military column, not much effort, except for the neighing of horses in the north of Jiexiu City, it seems that no other sound can be heard, and a faint killing atmosphere has spread rapidly, as if the warm spring breeze has become a little colder.

Such a great soldier, not to mention that the Tang soldiers had never seen it, even the generals of the Tang Army looked at each other for a while, and their faces showed fear.

Holding the city wall in his hand and watching the appearance of the enemy army, Li Zhongwen's face was also a little pale, he had seen what the elite of the Sui army looked like, but most of the ones he had seen were Chang'an hussars, what the Biansai Qiang army looked like, he really had never seen it with his own eyes.

As the grandson of Li Bi, the general of Shangzhu Guoda, why didn't he live in Chang'an City that day, but scattered in Chang'an County.

In order to escape the conquest of Liaodong, the young sons of the Chang'an lords went out of the city one after another.

That's right, they're evading military service.

Therefore, there are really few people in the Guanxi under Li Yuan's command who have participated in the battle of Liaodong, otherwise, anyone who has seen the cruelty of the war in Liaodong will no longer be moved by this few thousand cavalry.

At this time, Li Zhongwen's face was a little pale, and he was secretly glad in his heart that he had never met such an enemy on flat ground, otherwise, I am afraid that only these thousands of horsemen would be able to break through the army formation composed of tens of thousands of his soldiers.

Of course, he is not a straw bag like Jiang Baoyi after all.

Seeing that the generals beside him were silent, he suddenly woke up and patted the city wall and laughed, and then said loudly: "When I saw it today, the iron rider here really deserves its reputation, but it's a pity that it's ......."

"It was originally the screen of the country, but now it is the enemy of us, and the world is in turmoil, which is really hateful, you should work together with me to kill Li Ding'an, the thief, to calm the border troubles, and to restore peace on behalf of the people of the two states."

He said impassionedly, whether the generals listened to it or not, anyway, the main general will be bolder, and the hearts of his subordinates will be more stable.

The fear subsided slightly, and someone answered: "It's just a few forwards, but only thousands of horsemen, why be afraid?" The commander, the last general is willing to lead his troops out of the city and fight with him to show the prestige of our army. ”

Well, don't say that there are so many cavalry in the Tang Army, even if there is, this is also a more death-seeking behavior, and it sounds like it, people are just talking.

Li Zhongwen gave everyone a boost, and his courage seemed to have recovered, he waved his hand calmly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the morale of the enemy army is high, and it is not easy to fight, wait for a few days to defeat its troops under the city, and then it is not too late to go out of the city to defeat the enemy." ”

The above said lively, the people below were not idle, a few horses galloped under the city, the sound of persuasion to surrender was endless, and the response to them was the crossbow on the city.

Several people in the city were furious, urging the horses to stretch their bows and shoot at the city, no matter the strength or the accuracy, they were too much better than the Tang army, and the shield that was only shot in front of Li Zhongwen was banging, obviously seeing this group of people gathered in one place, it must be unusual.

The generals then surrounded Li Zhongwen and descended the city wall, which was too dangerous, and it would be a joke if the commander of the army was shot by a few pawns on the top of the city.

Several cavalry under the city, one of them was hit by an arrow in the arm, but they still laughed one after another, and the horses returned to the army under the city, which was quite strong and wild, which really made the Tang soldiers change color.

Fortunately, the thousands of cavalry under the city did not make any other moves, dismounted one after another, took the utensils from the reserve horses without any scruples, and set up simple small tents.

The cavalry under the city was busy like industrious ants, running back and forth from the bare city of Jiexiu, and soon dragged back more and more timber, ready to set up camp.

At dusk, Li Zhongwen had just returned to the mansion to take a rest, but before he could eat a bite of the hot meal, someone hurriedly came to report that the main force of the enemy army had arrived.

Li Zhongwen put aside the dishes and chopsticks and rushed to the city wall of the northern city.

It was still far away, and Li Zhongwen's face had changed a little, because the ground under his feet was trembling slightly, and there was a sound like thunder in his ears.

If it weren't for the fact that there were no clouds in the sky at all, Li Zhongwen might have thought that he had heard the rolling spring thunder.

When he led his men up the city walls, even the walls began to tremble.

The cavalry all over the mountains rushed like a tide in the twilight.

This kind of momentum is by no means comparable to that of the thousands of cavalry, and there seems to be no other sound between heaven and earth, only the sound of horses' hooves.

30,000 parallel iron horsemen finally came to the city of Jiexiu.

Poles of flags fluttered in the army, and the fierce knights of the northern land wearing half-body armor skillfully controlled the war horses, forming torrents one after another, and the black pressure covered the land tightly, as if there was no end in sight.

This time, Li Zhongwen was also shocked and discolored, the cavalry, all of them were cavalry, I can't count how many, how many years has Li Ding'an risen in Daizhou? And without the help of the Turks, how could it be...... Such a large number of soldiers were formed.

This is not Li Zhongwen's fuss, the cavalry of the Tang Army combined, I am afraid there are not so many, when the army gathered to attack Xijing Chang'an, there were only more than 10,000 cavalry in the more than 200,000 army.

And now, the number of cavalry in the two states is far beyond Li Zhongwen's expectations.

Moreover, cavalry and infantry are completely different concepts, compared with the two, cavalry can be said to be one as ten, both in terms of cost and combat effectiveness.

This is why cavalry is precious.

The Tang army is still in the rest, their fatal wounds are also here, the world's horse farms are all in the northern borderland, the Tang army only occupies the most gorgeous, but also the most unworthy of the name of the Chang'an royal horse farm.

Whether it is Li Liang, Xue Ju, or even Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe and others, in terms of cavalry, they all have a natural advantage over the Tang army, not to mention Li Po, who has repeatedly robbed the Turks successfully.

The war horses of Daizhou once made Li Po worry about whether he could feed him, but no one in the world could enjoy this kind of happy trouble.

The only thing that the Daizhou cavalry lacks now may be the insufficient number of Hexi horses, which limits their impact power, which is slightly inferior to those guys in the northwest.

Luo Shixin and Wang Zhibi led the people to prepare for the arrival of the army, but they waited until Li Po's military order.

and ordered them to retreat five miles and encamp.

The two of them have been leading the troops to fight for many years, and they know that it is bad when they hear it.

They didn't take the Tang army in the city seriously, so they camped closer to the city, and only two or three miles away, they set up a simple camp.

This distance is not good for cavalry.

The cavalry is superior in speed, and the distance without impact is greatly reduced.

Especially when they heard this military order, the two looked at each other, and they both understood that the governor was afraid that the Tang army would go out of the city and attack the camp.

Now that the Tang army in the city can defeat these many cavalry troops, or inflict serious damage on them, there will be no other tactical options other than defending the city and fighting at night.

Of course, the possibility of a night battle is extremely low, and those who can still be attacked by night battles when the two armies hold each other are probably fools and the like.

But no matter how many reasons there were, neither of them dared to slack off, and immediately led the army back five miles and stationed in front of the army from the new.
